School has started, the weather has cooled, and we’re officially in fall reading season. But with all the reading lists and recommendations flying around, it can be hard to figure out which of the many so-called must-reads you actually, well, must read. Not to worry: I’ve got you covered. Rather than just give you my own recommendations, I thought I would survey the internet to see if some kind of consensus would emerge.

To put this list together, I collated 20 fall previews from various online publications, large and small, to see which books were most frequently recommended by critics. I tracked a total of 280 recommended books, but only included those with at least two mentions among the 20 lists. In the end, the top recommended books are a mix of big-name standbys and buzzy new writers—to no one’s surprise, heavy-hitter and book club favorite Barbara Kingsolver leads the pack, but while the second tier is also fairly predictable, with books by Michelle Obama, Haruki Murakami, and Susan Orlean, it also includes Nicole Chung’s debut memoir. And things get more interesting the further down the list you go, so with that, I’ll leave you to it.
